what does a ricardo le gusta hacer la tarea mean in english
Literally, or word-for-word = To Richard, to him is it pleasing to do the homework? BUT, of course, we would translate it "Does Richard like to do homework?
This is the verb "gustar" which is usually used in the 3rd person if ONE thing IS pleasing to someone, or in the 3rd person plural, if 2 or more things ARE pleasing to someone. So, I recommend that you NOT learn it as the verb "to like" but as the verb "to be pleasing to..."

The phrase "A Ricardo le gusta hacer la tarea" translates to "Ricardo likes to do homework" in English.
To understand the translation:
1. Break down the sentence: "A Ricardo" means "To Ricardo," "le gusta" means "likes," and "hacer la tarea" means "to do homework."
2. Understand the word order: In Spanish, the verb "gustar" is often used with an indirect object pronoun to indicate the person who likes something. In this case, "le" (to him) is used before "gusta" (likes) to show that the action is pleasing to Ricardo.
Putting it all together, the translation is "Ricardo likes to do homework."
